  Lovely, lovely, lovely property - cozy beach house meets Dwell magazine. Great location in pretty neighbourhood on a dead end street, which meant our kids could safely ride their bikes. The house and pool are well sited: there is always a spot for those who want sun, a spot for those who want shade - our baby could spend the day outside without suffering heatstroke! And some little things make such a difference to a family with young children: we could keep the kids busy on the trampoline while also keeping an eye on them from the kitchen when we cooked; babyproofing the house was easy; down-time in the hamac was magical, piled in there with kids playing 20 questions for what seemed like hours. Cherry on the cake? The owners are helpful and charming.

  WeI had a lovely stay at this charming home. The location is convenient to beaches, bays and restaurants but is also quiet and secluded. The outdoor, saltwater pool is big enough for laps and the large deck perfect for outdoor entertaining. The interior is open and modern with plenty of room to enjoy conversation with friends or just kick back and watch a movie. The location is perfect for walks to the water, biking, kayaking in the bay or checking out the scene in town. This is a hassle-free, unpretentious house where everything works and there's no surprises, except perhaps the sophisticated art collection.

  We had a lovely week at this home. The pool was spectacular- great private setting and pool toys! If you are a cook, the kitchen is well equipped and easy to work in. Bikes were available for rides to the beach. The bay beaches are within walking distance where we saw people receiving instructions on various water sports. (looked like fun!). We also enjoyed walking down to the bay to watch the sunset. The photos on the website accurately reflect the appearance in the house. We would recommend this house to a family for a relaxing week in the Hamptons.

  we came from germany to visit new york and stayed here for only a few days to have a relaxing break of our town trip - and we really had an amazing time. the whole environment is a fine place to find recreation quickly. this house is a really nice oasis with very lovely details to discover. you don't expect this on the first look because the outside of the house is very simple. the mix of the original style and modern accessories makes staying here become a comfortable authentic time. we like the interaction of nature outside and the original 60s feeling in the house as well as modern elements mixed in. it it didn't take us long to feel homelike. so we would always prefer staying in such a place instead of staying in a ordinary vacation place. the owners have many interesting books about the hamptons, art and architecture in here. so in the evenings we had a good time with a glass of wine and a book or we just walked to the near beach or had a bike ride to another. before we made our trip to america we were told not to expect too high standards, but we were surprised about this place's quality. don't expect a sterilized hotel, it is a house in natural surrounding i think it is a good place to stay for openminded people interested in art, interior design and an unobtrusive lifestyle.

  A lovely pool, but the owners of this property didn't prepare their house at all for our 10-day rental: -the fridge and freezer were filled with the owner's old food; -the kitchen cabinets were crammed with open containers of old food [and thus bugs]; -the bathrooms were littered with used bars of soap and half-empty shampoo bottles; -there were cobwebs in every window and hair in the corners. Plus a few used band-aids. Beyond not having made an effort to clean the place, there were maintenance issues. For instance, unstable electric current made the lights that worked, flicker constantly; and there was no hot water in the main bathroom. If our own house hadn't been under construction, we would have turned around and left. When we called them, the owners' response was to become defensive, rather than help problem-solve. Unfortunately, the electrician and exterminator they told us they'd called, never showed up. The owners did finally agree to refund a day's rent. We can't recommend this place in good conscience to any traveler.

  Owner response: Hello, I am the homeowner of East Hampton Oasis, and you know what? It is an oasis. We love it. The person who responded negatively above was obviously expecting a hotel. We were experiencing power surges following a storm, and I do understand this renter's frustration. but I must say he made us feel very bad about the place we love...calling us every day. We did our best to accommodate him, but no mater what, he was an unhappy camper--chalk it up to one of those situations that was 'just not the right fit.' The above renter did write us afterwards and, in spite of his complaints, did manage to compliment us on our lovely pool and noted that we had the sharpest knives of any rental he'd ever experienced. Luckily, soon after, we received an email from the next renter (within two hours of their arrival) thanking us for such a offering up our lovely home.
